Should I Keep Trying To Lose Weight?

Since the beginning of last year (left picture), I have put on over 40 pounds of weight (right picture) due to various medical reasons. For the last few months, I have tried to diet and exercise, but had very little success. At this point, I'm wondering if I should just embrace my new curves instead of trying to become thin again. What do you all think? Please comment respectfully. I know I'm not wearing the most flattering clothes in the right picture, but it's what I like to wear around the house :p

Never give up. See if there is alternative to current medication, people react differently to different medications. Going on diets is bad method. Instead try to eat healthy, balanced diet along with exercise. However try eating less calories but make sure you are getting all necessary nutrition. By less calories I mean 200-300 less depending on your daily needs. For whatever reason due to medication your body is more efficient at storing fat, that could by counteracted by consuming less calories.

I would not say 'fat'. But it looks a little 'out of proportion' to me. You mention that medical reasons are behind the weight gain. If you don't like yourself 'as is' - a doctor who already is involved could make a suggestion? A sort of reversal or whatever; I'm not e specialist in this field.
